W. and Mrs. Col- lins by parishioners of the Church of tl,e Ascension. The report says in part : "A hearty welcome, the sincere ity and warmth of which could not be doubted, was extended. There was a goodly attendance, and the spirit oC friendliness and unanimity which is characteristic of this congregation pr•eeailed. A program of music and addresses preceded the .reception pro- per. The chairman stroke at the, bar - many which existed in the •church, of the united support which the ;con- gregation coregregation had always given to its former. rector, Mr. Snelgrove, and asked that this co-operation and erne, port be transferred to his succirsur. The financial condition of •all 'the so- cieties of the church were in exceit lent shape, the affairs of the church were well organized, the vestrymen were united, and he declared. that Mr, 'Collins came under the happiest aux vices. He then introduced the new ,rector, who expressed his gratificat• tion at coming here under such aus- picious circumstances, and also ', ex- pressed the hope that the loyalty and support which had always been given to his predecessor be given to him, that they might work together har- moniously to continue the work begun by his predecessor so that, the parish might fulfil. its greatest possibilities He thanked the audience for their friendly and sincere greu:ting extend= ed to himself and Mrs. Collins. --Mr. and Mrs. 'Collins shook hand with ev- eryone present. Mr. .Coklins has a winning personality and hits hearti- ness and, ready sympathy have already won for him a place in the hearts vet his parishioners. Like his predecessor he is an.

There was 'ti splendid turnout the ventre of the!' church being nearly filled with. the menibers of the order. The pastor,. ltev. S. F, Sharp, .delivered ;one of the best sermon the Order have had the pleasure of listening to. The music was exceptionally good, a solo being sung by Miss E. bioncur and a •gi,iara tctt,e by Messrs. Kinsman,Senior, Christie and Gillies. The text was taken, from Lake 10: 27, "Thou -,abaft love the Lord thy God with, all thy' heart, and with all thy soul, .and aortia alt thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy net;; h.bar as 'thyself:." The speakee said that 'the tceachersi and dialectics did not look favorably( on Jesus and his teachings. A .certain lawyer tempted him and asked the!' question. Master what shall I do to in- 'crit eternal life, Thi lawyer was, skilled in the law 'and the slue'taoni was a natural one. But Jesns made the lawyer answer it himself, `Thej lawyer asked but who is my neigh- bor and Jesus relate the 'bisutit al, parable of the journey from Jerusal- lem tea Jerico where a wounded mann by the wayside was left to perish by a priest and a levite .and £ix.ally cared fon by a Samaritan. The text is :sometimes called the golden nal:. The. golden rule is fulr filled in two ways—oy loping God ur.d by loving cur neighbor as ourselves. Notice how the lawyer answers, thou shalt love the Lord with ail thy heart, soul, strength and mind, the moral, physical and intellectual na-. ture. It means the dedication of our whole personality to God..
